“ We went on a Tuesday evening so it wasn't very busy but the service was excellent, very prompt and the waiter explained the dishes that weren't familiar to us. We had Mutton Butuwha and crispy Momo to start. The Mutton was very tasty and the momo had a lovely crunch to them. For main I had Fish Thakali Thali. That was a dish of fish in a tomato sauce, a daal and lots of pickles and fermented vegetables, served with rice. Very tasty and filling. My husband had mixed Ho Fan; a noodle stir fry which he really enjoyed. We had a couple of beers and a white wine and the price was very reasonable. We will definitely go back. ”
